Write |List| {list} to file {fname}. Each list item is
separated with a NL. Each list item must be a String or
Number.
- When {binary} is equal to "b" binary mode is used: There will
+ When {flags} contains "b" then binary mode is used: There will
not be a NL after the last list item. An empty item at the
end does cause the last line in the file to end in a NL.
+
+ When {flags} contains "a" then append mode is used, lines are
+ appended to the file: >
+ :call writefile(["foo"], "event.log", "a")
+ :call writefile(["bar"], "event.log", "a")
+
All NL characters are replaced with a NUL character.
Inserting CR characters needs to be done before passing {list}
to writefile().
